I'm a former Swimming pro, after getting nerve damage in my jaw I started coaching instead. After a few years of doing this, I became and librarian. This was the best job and I loved it.
At age 26 I realized I was mentally bullied by my closest boss and I decided I was at the lowest point in my life. I started hating myself and everything I did felt like a failure. So I took the big decision to quit my job.
While quitting my job I felt freedom but it only lasted a few hours. Anxiety from my parents worrying about my future and my pension hit me hard. I was a girl with a plan, I knew what I wanted and I always succeeded in getting it.
Now I stood without a job, I was single (or at least in a complicated relationship with a man from England) and I had no idea what to do. I moved back to my parents and so a new chapter started.
I created Rise Up Diaries as a way to daily log everything I did. But also get a reason to leave my self-pity and patheticness behind in my bed. I needed a reason to leave the house and to see the world and to find happiness again.

Love can overcome everything, I believe in it with all my heart, no matter how tough it may seem. Unfortunately, I have no job to help you in solving the problem, but I want to wish you patience and good luck. A solution may come sooner or later because you are together and do everything for your happiness, just don’t give up. Real feelings prove to be real through tough times like these.

It is hard to find a job and, most importantly, to find your identity and role in a new country where the primary language is not your language. I know that because I had to fight hard to show others who I was and what I was able to do. Plus, the nostalgia for home, plus a new language, plus a new culture, plus food that you don’t recognize as your own comfort food. It is hard, but it is not impossible. I went back to school, learned two new languages and kept my chin up even on days when people placed invisible rocks on my head. It is not easy, and it will never be easy…but it is not impossible. I am sending you both tons of hugs…don’t give up on things that you love and don’t give up on your love. You can do it!

It must be very hard but Love overcomes all hardships. Years from now, you will remember these hard days and laugh. Now, hold onto each other and celebrate making it that far. Many relationships cracked before the reunion BUT you too are strong and you are making it 🙂

I can totally relate. I am Norwegian and Husband is British. If things *really* goes belly up here after the UK leave the union, moving home to Norway is always an option. But it really would be the last resort because of the language barrier and I would be worried about how successfully he would find friends and a network there.

I’m sure it will, we have always managed and both our families have always supported us. I just don’t want him to feel isolated and out of his depth. It’s much easier for me to just fly home and see my family, than for us to move home and him having to fly home to see his.
